    I showed this to a friend and WII can't believe you don't even have to MOVE to win this game. How can they expect this to KINECT to gamers?

  2. Vlauer on November 22nd, 2010 12:32 pm

    Since around 2004: What are those 8bit games you speak of?
    Since 2010: A joypad? Is this some sort of new move sensor?

  3. DonPedrox on November 22nd, 2010 12:33 pm

    I'm from NATAL and cannot stress enough that this has caused a gaming REVOLUTION, I personally think this game is a GEM

  4. MoG on November 22nd, 2010 12:41 pm

    I bet if he had to scratch his nose once, he coulda pulled off that vicotry

  5. Link4all on November 22nd, 2010 12:47 pm

    Hands-free action!
    Minimal effort required!
    Easy Learning Curve!
    Fun for the whole family! (Especially your 86 year old grandpa, he doesn't have to get out of bed to win)

  6. chuckpebble on November 22nd, 2010 12:53 pm

    Dangit. I am so sick and tired of all these "on rails" driving games!

  7. Darth_Destro on November 22nd, 2010 1:18 pm

    Let me rush right out and give Microsoft even more of my money for this exciting new add on for my XBox 360. Now I'll finally be able to sell my Wii.

    /sarcasm

  8. Zabrio on November 22nd, 2010 1:27 pm

    Finally, now i can sleep and get achivements, my gamerscore will skyrocket

    yes i do sleep with my arms out like that

  9. Ichiinu on November 22nd, 2010 1:35 pm

    Look, ma! No hands!

  10. Caelun_Niveus on November 22nd, 2010 1:47 pm

    I just wonder how sensitive those controls must be, and how out of control he would have gone had he moved more erratically.

  11. Dimomarg on November 22nd, 2010 1:57 pm

    I LOVE THE POWER AIR. IT'S SO BAD…. no, seriously, it reads your thoughts.

  12. Dimomarg on November 22nd, 2010 2:02 pm

    maybe movie reviewers should review kinect games instead?

  13. ZatchZombie on November 22nd, 2010 2:24 pm

    Did he….Did he just troll Kinect?

  14. MasqueNoMercy on November 22nd, 2010 2:37 pm

    LEVEL UP: Pun+, Rep+, Wit+, Alure-

  15. Leo E. on November 22nd, 2010 2:50 pm

    He may be trolling Kinect, but I think Kinect is trolling everyone else.

  16. Fearow on November 22nd, 2010 2:50 pm

    We shall create a Museum of Gaming, to preserve knowledge of the old school ways. Then the brats of tomorrow will not forget what 8-bit is. Or a Joypad.

  17. CakeBard on November 22nd, 2010 2:50 pm

    My pet rock is just as good as that MLG wannabe!

  18. SadFace298 on November 22nd, 2010 2:54 pm

    Another notch in my "Reasons not to buy a Kinect" belt.

  19. Mentlegen on November 22nd, 2010 3:06 pm

    Since he bought Kinect, I guess he was trolled.

  20. Fhantinabox on November 22nd, 2010 3:06 pm

    And listening to Nostalgia Critic Junior over 15 years how much it sucked and that Castlevania for the N64 is better?

    Awesome idea!! Who got his e-mail?

  21. Mentlegen on November 22nd, 2010 3:07 pm

    Natal from Brasil? Don Pedro I?

    Você é brasileiro afinal?

  22. Shatman on November 22nd, 2010 3:10 pm

    Set Game Difficulty:

    What is real life?
    Hard
    Medium
    Easy
    -> I lost my arms in Vietnam dude :(

    In the future, not even masturbation is safe from progress and technology.

  25. werewolfsfury on November 22nd, 2010 3:21 pm

    such amazing AI!

  26. Agentcdi on November 22nd, 2010 3:21 pm

    Behold! The first game to be controlled by your mind!

  27. Tael on November 22nd, 2010 3:22 pm

    I wonder if you can make an 'Avatar' of Mario…

  28. MorningMoon on November 22nd, 2010 3:33 pm

    So… it's like playing Metal Gear Solid 4?

  29. Sandbag on November 22nd, 2010 4:00 pm

    So that means he got trolled and then trolled the same person?

    MY GOD.

  30. GuessWho666 on November 22nd, 2010 4:17 pm

    Sharp intake of breath!

  31. Xyxoz on November 22nd, 2010 4:21 pm

    Well no wonder he won. They all had to notice whoever that player was to win. Whoever that green Mario guy is, either everyone else was an idiot, or no one was paying attention to him!

  32. MassiveDamage on November 22nd, 2010 4:26 pm

    That he knows of.

  33. MoG on November 22nd, 2010 4:27 pm

    Forward Thrust to boost!
    Reverse Thrust to pull a stunt!

    these techniques are best done one after another.

  34. GraveZombie on November 22nd, 2010 4:29 pm

    You may now summon the PUNsona: Horatio!

    Horatio has learned: Place Sunglasses

  35. MassiveDamage on November 22nd, 2010 4:32 pm

    Now I have to play that game again.

  36. MassiveDamage on November 22nd, 2010 4:35 pm

    I think he ment NATAL as in Kinect's codename. Same goes for REVOLUTION (Wii) and I don't have the slighest idea about GEM.
    (EDIT)
    And now I see IntenseDebate failed to put this comment as a reply.
    Read DonPedrox's comment first if you don't get this comment.

  37. coltsman88 on November 22nd, 2010 4:36 pm

    Um… we're the gamers here. You listen to us, not the other way around. We're telling you that this product is a failure. Market Research anyone? Economics 101? Stick to games with controllers, it's what your good at.

  38. Acias on November 22nd, 2010 5:08 pm

    Excite Truck on Wii > This game

  39. Randomentalist on November 22nd, 2010 5:09 pm

    I don't get it, everyone's losing. Was it not possible to win games in mario party 2?

  40. Yoshi_Dino on November 22nd, 2010 5:13 pm

    and make sure to put alot of effort into each thrust. Show that game who's boss!

  41. Barry Allen on November 22nd, 2010 5:18 pm

    …With your avatar, this made me laugh so much…that is all.

    (It is also full of win, and you get +1 E-Peen.)

  42. BoxeyBrown on November 22nd, 2010 5:28 pm

    very relevant!

  43. BoxeyBrown on November 22nd, 2010 5:31 pm

    Well, he was ONLY able to get 3rd place by doing nothing, so the game is only mostly a waste of time.

  44. Flamerider on November 22nd, 2010 5:46 pm

    Thumbs up for depressing tag.

  45. DonPedrox on November 22nd, 2010 6:03 pm

    Precisely, by the way Gem was an early codename for move according to Wikipedia so I just decided to use it.

  46. DonPedrox on November 22nd, 2010 6:06 pm

    No sorry not from Brasil just trying to find a clever way to imitate a previous comment

  47. Shatman on November 22nd, 2010 6:13 pm

    I don't know. Maybe we're supposed to be paying attention to something else in the video? i don't know what it could be though.

  48. The Writer on November 22nd, 2010 6:42 pm

    It's like Mario Kart, except less fun an ridiculously easy.

  49. Sir_Nox on November 22nd, 2010 8:36 pm

    +1 Because I was just playing through Persona 4 earlier.

  50. Sir_Nox on November 22nd, 2010 8:38 pm

    We'll all have robot maids to do that for us. Or more likely we'll live in a Matrix-type environment where we only think we're fapping it.

  51. Sir_Nox on November 22nd, 2010 8:40 pm

    That is WAY to much strenuous activity for me, maybe once Kinect gets a new patch so that I don't have to raise my arms I'll buy it.

  52. Kam_Fakami on November 22nd, 2010 9:21 pm

    Hey CdiGanon, I'm really happy for you, and I'ma let you finish, but Whitney's Milktank is the best video game character of all time!

    OF ALL TIME!

  53. Kam_Fakami on November 22nd, 2010 9:22 pm

    +1 for VGCats reference.

  54. Kam_Fakami on November 22nd, 2010 9:23 pm

    KINECT IS A CANNIBAL TROLL!

  55. Vabolo on November 22nd, 2010 9:25 pm

    Am I the only one who sees a giant Kabutops in the upper middle of the video before you press on "play"? O_O

  56. Kam_Fakami on November 22nd, 2010 9:25 pm

    MLG HYPERVENTILATION CONTEST! *hyperventilates*

  57. Kam_Fakami on November 22nd, 2010 9:27 pm

    NAAAAAAAWWWWWWW MEEEEEEEENNNNNGGGGGGG!!!! MGS4 had plot. And guns. And old people.

  58. By-Tor on November 22nd, 2010 9:47 pm

    "The only winning move is not to play".

  59. CapnMacMillan on November 22nd, 2010 11:22 pm

    SUCH ENTHUSIASM.

  60. Fungo4 on November 23rd, 2010 12:38 am

    So this is the soviet russian version?

  61. Juggernaut470 on November 23rd, 2010 12:54 am

    In Soviet Russia, game plays you?

  62. SonicsmyName on November 23rd, 2010 5:58 am

    In every instance there's an empty space where there's supposed to be a player. Might that be it? I also for some reason see a car, a ball, etc. without anyone on/in it .___.

  63. chuckpebble on November 23rd, 2010 1:01 pm

    Ha ha. This reminds me of cramming the PS one controller in a drawer to keep the accelerator button pressed. That way I could complete the endurance race on Gran Turismo 2 with that Pike's Peak Escudo car on that huge oval track. Just riding the retaining wall the whole way round while I went to class.

  64. The Writer on November 23rd, 2010 5:29 pm

    It's like Mario Kart, except less fun and ridiculously easy.

  65. Frankenstrat247 on November 24th, 2010 11:32 pm

    It's like playing as the non-driving character in double dash…only you don't do sh*t ._.

  66. Frankenstrat247 on November 24th, 2010 11:34 pm

    And to think they spent god knows how long on this stuff at E3…oh Microsoft, you and your trolling

  67. Flamerion on November 25th, 2010 4:15 am

    I you can go eat a sandvich and still end 3rd

  68. Flamerion on November 25th, 2010 4:18 am

    Dont worry you can win with just your head attached
